From Library Journal
Anyone thinking about attending law school faces three years of discipline and hard work. Miller, an attorney and 1998 University of Pennsylvania law school graduate, shares his knowledge about getting through. Miller covers every aspect of the law school experience-from surviving the first semester to seeking summer internships-which makes this book unique. He presents experiences of other law students to help readers understand what is expected of them and how these expectations will affect heir social and personal lives. The author emphasizes that discipline and conviction are the keys to successfully completing law school. Chapters are of course included on how to study for entrance tests and select an appropriate school. Recommended for all college and larger public libraries.

Format:Taschenbuch
This is a practical book, which presents the law school experience from the perspective of 10 law students from regional and national schools around the country, from U-Miami to Harvard, as candidly and honestly as possible. There is no nostalgia in this book. It is a practical, "where the rubber meets the road" guide to the experience, by students, for students - which is specific enough to provide advice for nearly every question that you'll have about law school, but general enough to be broadly applicable no matter which law school you go to. It will take you chronologically through the experience -from taking the LSAT and applying to schools, to studying for the Bar Exam, and everything in between - but is written in a relaxed, conversational style that the author seems to have intended to read as if we were having a conversation over a beer. Hey listen- there is no use sugar-coating the experience. Law school is really hard. Will the book apply perfectly to every experience you have? Of course not. But I'm certain that all the advice it contains will ease your anxiety significantly, offer a lot of suggestions about how to study and succeed.

I really found this book to be very helpful. This is just the type of information that I was looking for but was unable to find in any other book. The author really understands the anxieties that go along with law school. I recommend this book to anyone who has ever considered attending law school.
Format:Taschenbuch
This book has been a great tool in reducing the amount of anxiety I have been experiencing while waiting to begin law school this fall.
Once you've been accepted to law school people seem to come out of the woodwork to tell you what a grind it's going to be. Naturally, most of those people have never set foot in a law school. Even those people you talk to who have been to law school seem to offer more general advice then specifics. This book demystifies the unknown that lies ahead. It lays out recommended courses of action starting from the application process through post graduation job hunting. Reading about 3L issues now will help guide my actions long before I get to my third year.
Lastly, the book offers advise based on the experiences of ten former law students. Some say they would go to law school all over again and some say they would not. The perspectives offered by 10 former law students give this book serious credibility in my opinion. The tone is positive and productive and makes for easy reading. I was absolutely glued to the book and went through the first 98 pages without taking a break.
I think this book is such a great tool that law schools should send it to incoming 1L's upon receiving their deposits.
